‘Fantastic Four' Box Office In Freefall, Down 80% From Last Week
While Fantastic Four: First Steps opened quite strongly in its first weekend, $117 million domestically, with a total around $257 million worldwide so far, things are taking a turn for the worse. While Fantastic Four will still take its second weekend, the movie only grossed $11.7 million on Friday, which is down a massive 80% from the previous Friday during its launch weekend. That puts it on pace to fall short of estimates and it may not even break $40 million in its follow-up weekend. It's difficult to spin this. For comparison's sake, in the same month, Superman dropped 53% from its first weekend to its second. And while Fantastic Four may outpace other recent, rather poor MCU offerings by a bit, this is far from a roaring 'we're back' warcry, despite these big names and how much they will tie into the upcoming pair of Avengers movies. It's not quite clear what happened here. The film reviewed well among critics, an 86%, and really well among fans, a 92% with 10,000 scores in, one of Marvel's highest. But as we've seen that…doesn't quite matter. Thunderbolts, the previous MCU film, was almost an identically-reviewed hit, 88% and 93%, but it was a self-admitted miss by Marvel, and one of its lowest grossers. As a result, Fantastic Four may also be trending toward the bottom tier of overall earners in the MCU. It's a little surprising. You can make excuses for a lot of past MCU failures: Fantastic Four? It's unclear. These are big, big names in Marvel. The cast was great. The movie was liked by critics and fans. Is it just…fatigue? Was Superman a factor? Everyone who cared saw it opening weekend and word-of-mouth didn't matter? Marvel is not down and out. They have just this week started ramping up hype for 2026's Spider-Man: Brand New Day, announcing cast members and roles and a first look at Tom Holland's new Spidey suit. No Way Home made almost $2 billion. This movie will not fail. But Fantastic Four? This is looking rather rough now. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.

'Caddyshack' turns 45! The comedy classic's last line is one of its funniest, but 'made absolutely no sense'
How a 58-year-old movie-making novice clinched the big finish. Writers often agonize in search of the perfect words — and the last line of a comedy is a moment where they really have to stick the landing. Many cite the final zing from Some Like It Hot, "Nobody's perfect," as the ne plus ultra of screenwriting excellence. According to lore, writer-director Billy Wilder and his scripting partner I.A.L. Diamond slipped Joe E. Brown's final retort to Jack Lemmon as a placeholder until they could come up with something better. (Wilder later said they didn't trust the line at first, because it came too easily, but when they finally screened the movie, it got "one of the biggest laughs I ever heard in the theater.") Not questioning good creative fortune also served Harold Ramis, director of the madcap country club romp Caddyshack — a film that celebrates its 45th birthday today. (That's 15 years older than Bill Murray was when the movie came out, if you were curious.) The original screenplay for Caddyshack, written by Ramis, National Lampoon cofounder Douglas Kenney, and Brian Doyle-Murray (who based the story somewhat on his own memories working as a caddy), had a different ending than we now know. As Ramis explained, after Michael O'Keefe shames Ted Knight by making the game-winning putt (thanks to Bill Murray setting off explosives in pursuit of a pesky gopher), there was going to be two little wrap-up moments. Chevy Chase and Cindy Morgan were going to have a "walk off into the sunset" moment and we'd also see O'Keefe at the airport, about to leave for college, but instead following a foxy gal on a trip to Jamaica. This all got nixed because of the mad genius from Queens-born Jacob Cohen, better known to the world as Rodney Dangerfield. In 1980, Dangerfield was not really known much outside of comedy clubs. (Indeed, his own spot, Dangerfield's, opened in Manhattan in 1969.) He'd done appearances on The Tonight Show With Johnny Carson and put out an album or two, but mainstream success eluded him. (Perhaps this was to his benefit, as he used these hard workin' years to hone his "I don't get no respect" everyman schtick.) When Ramis and producer Kenney cast the 58-year-old Dangerfield, he'd never really done any acting. Yet his natural instincts took over when he inhabited the role of Al Czervik, the gauche nouveau riche real estate developer that disgusted the blue blood snobs at the stuck-up Bushwood Country Club. Dangerfield sank his teeth into the role, which was initially much smaller but expanded due to his sensational improv skills. For example, there was the ad lib that was so out of the blue that Ramis decided to make it the last line of the entire picture. As the director explained it, the celebratory sequitur "Hey, everybody, we're all gonna get laid!" was agreed upon as the closer because of the film's ethos of "why not?" "It was a totally improvised line that I can't even believe I left in the movie," he said. "It makes absolutely no sense, which at that point was pretty much par for the course." And in some social circles, there are still guys who shout this out whenever anything good or unexpected happens. Caddyshack was an international box office sensation and made Dangerfield a star. Cable specials and top-selling (and Grammy-winning) albums followed, as did leading roles in '80s classics like Easy Money and Back to School. After Dangerfield died in 2004, the neighborhood where he grew up in Queens, Kew Gardens, decided to honor him with a mural. (It's right near the spot where Kitty Genovese was murdered.) In classic form, Dangerfield's widow thought the rendering of her late husband was terrible, and complained about it. Even from the grave he gets no respect!

Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau's Complete Relationship Timeline
THE RUNDOWN In late July, pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau sparked dating rumors after being seen with one another on several occasions in Montréal. On August 2, a source stated that the 'romance is in very early stages.' Both Perry and Trudeau ended their long term relationships relatively recently. On July 3, Perry and actor Orlando Bloom announced their split after six years of being engaged in a joint statement to People, saying, 'Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting [their daughter, 4-year-old Daisy]. They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is—and always will be—raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.' Trudeau and his ex Sophie Grégorie separated in 2023 after 18 years together. In a statement posted on Instagram at the time, Trudeau wrote, 'Hi everyone, Sophie and I would like to share the fact that after many meaningful and difficult conversation, we have made the decision to separate. As always, we remain a close family with deep love and respect for each other and for everything we have built and will continue to build. For the well-being of our children, we ask that you respect our and their privacy. Thank you.' Here's the complete relationship timeline of Perry and Trudeau so far. On July 28, the pair shared a long day of activities together, starting with a walk in Montreal's Mount Royal Park. TMZ obtained photos of Trudeau smiling alongside Perry as they strolled. They were then filmed eating at Le Violon in Montréal. In footage obtained by TMZ, Perry and Trudeau can be seen chatting, with the singer looking attentively at Trudeau. After their meal, they had drinks on the terrace of Taverne Atlantic. Shortly after TMZ published the dinner video, the outlet ran an interview with Le Violon's co-owner and co-executive chef, Danny Smiles, who served them. Smiles said Perry and Trudeau didn't show any PDA, and 'he didn't get any dating vibes from Katy and two friends enjoying a meal.' Perry and Trudeau enjoyed a series of courses from the chef's tasting menu, including lobster, tuna, lamb gnocchi, and beef tartare, according to TMZ. The meal was a few hours long, and Trudeau covered the bill. Smiles called them the 'perfect guests—super chill, extremely nice to the staff.' On July 30, Trudeau was seen at Perry's Lifetimes Tour stop in Montréal. The former Canadian prime minister was spotted by fans in the crowd. His daughter Ella-Grace, was also at the concert, per Daily Mail. Trudeau also sang along to Perry's hit song 'Firework.' A source speaking with People said that the pair definitely have a connection, but it is a logistical challenge to date. 'They are interested in each other, but it will take a while to see where this goes,' the insider stated. 'She is traveling around the world, and he is figuring out his life now that he is no longer prime minister of Canada, but there is an attraction. They have a lot in common.' The source added, 'Music is one of many things they can share. Both are idealists and still live in a world where they think they can make improvements, although it has gotten more difficult.' They both have full lives already, as well as kids they share with former partners. 'Their own personal responsibilities could make this relationship move slower than it would, but there are ways to see the other and still fulfill their parenting responsibilities,' the source said. 'For one thing, they each have an ex. So, duties are split in half. And long-distance relationships, while still hard, are possible for these two.' A second source told People, 'Justin is a [politician] who is used to living a secret life with his personal activity, and wouldn't put on a public display at this stag. He knows they were being watched and is smart enough to play it low-key for now.' '[The] timing seems good for them, although a romance is in very early stages,' the source added.
